According to Bertrand Chevillon, this estate lost 50% to 80% of its normal volume to frost in 2016, depending on the cru, with yields typically ranging from 10 to 20 hectoliters per hectare. Mildew was not an issue, he said. The harvest took place between September 24 and October 2, and the estate’s trio of top crus (Les Cailles, Les Vaucrains and Les Saint-Georges) came in with potential alcohol levels between 12.5% and 13.2%. Chevillon destemmed all of the fruit, as always, noting that “vinifying with whole clusters would change our style.” The wines stood out in January for their sappy energy and purity. Chevillon describes his ‘16s as “very rich, concentrated, classic vins de garde.”

Yields were down 40% to 50% in 2015 for Domaine Chevillon owing to the lack of rainfall, and more like 60% in 2016, said Bertrand Chevillon. The family began harvesting on September 3 in 2015, bringing in their fruit with potential alcohol levels ranging from 12% to 12.8% and finishing before the rains. Extraction was rather gentle, with Chevillon substituting some arrosage (“watering” the cap with juice from below) for pigeage.”
